															<description><![CDATA[Even in 2019, it’s not often we see Afro-Latinxs highlighted in film, TV, or mainstream media. What’s even rarer is to see a film or series set in a part of Latin America that consists of predominately Afro-Latinxs, despite the fact that there&#8217;s a large percentage of Afro-Latinxs throughout Latin America. But Spike Lee is]]></description>
